Abstract
Trochanteroplasty is a salvage procedure that is normally performed in septic infant hips. The procedure can provide a stable, painless, functional hip, and reduce any leg-length discrepancy. The authors describe a case of revisional total hip arthopalsty performed on a 65 year-old male patient 4 years after trochanteroplasty for an uncontrolled infection after total hip arthoplasty. The available literature on trochanteroplasty was reviewed. The authors provide a feasible strategy for treating adult hip infections with deficient bone stock in the proximal femur.
